Hi.

Can anyone help me locate a source from where I can obtain Boenninghausen's "Der homoeopathische Hausarzt" and "Systematisch-alphabetisches Repertorium der nicht-antipsorischen Arzneien"?
I've looked at sites at von der Lieth, Haug-Verlag, Robert Bosch Institut, and Sonntag-Verlag, none of which appear to publish or distribute either of these texts.
I'm not so interested in compiled or abridged material, rather the individual original texts as they were originally published.

Many thanks,
Chris

in english or german chris?

Original German, or English if it's a good translation.
Ta.

for the german, hans w will be the best person to ask.
i had a look for you on bookfinder and there are no copies of either currently available, but you could check every now and then, using:
http://www.bookfinder.com/german/

for the english domestic physician, hempel published a title by that name in the 1840's, but i don't know if it was a direct translation of boenni's work. it's not too hard to find one of those hempels secondhand.

for the rep of the non-antipsoric remedies, there is only available in english the recently translated radar version [not in book form]. if you have radar it's fine - otherwise you need the whole program.

Okay, thanks for that Anna.
Have you seen Kastner's "Boenninghausen Repertorium der homoeopathischen Arzneimittel"? I'd be interested to know what the lay-out of that book is like. Are the Psoric Rep and the Non-antipsoric Rep kept separate or is the information all thrown in together? Does it also contain rubric and remedy changes from the DP and how are they referenced?

chris, i don't recall having seen kastner's boenn rep.
again hans is the person to ask as he has many if not all of the kastner.

i realised hempel's domestic physician predates boenninghausen's. however, i think i recall having seen a translation of boenni's [somewhere, sometime.]
for these texts, all i can advise is to keep a regular check on the antiquarian booksearch websites.

Hi Chris
The Repertorium der Nichtpsorischen Arzneimittel was republished at one stage in the 80 in a limited edition by Verlag Burgdorf. they are out of it for a long time and have no plans for a republication. I am using a copy of the anoted Version of Boe himself currently stored in the Pierre Schmidt library in Geneva. Hansjoerg Hee from the Federation Pierre Schmidt is looking after the library and he might draw you a copy-- maybe. I have not come across a secondhand copy in the last few years.
the domestic physician can be obtained from the: Verlag fuer Homeopathisches Wissen. they are dead slow and it is not a facsimile reprint. they set the whole thing anew.
I have a photocopy from the copy which lies in Stuttgart in the institute.
i am not aware of any english publiction of the SRN nore of the domestic physian.
Just on a note on the domestic physician-- Boe started this work and published only the first two parts, so it stays fragmentary. i am not too sure whether there is a manuscribt for the last few parts in Stuttgart.

best, hans

Thanks for that info Hans.
Do you have the Kastner book? If so, what is your impression? (Very pricey.)

Hi Chris
I have both books, the MM and the Rep.
They are bigger than Allen’s handbook and bulky.
For the daily use they are too aquard.
The repertory is too clumsy, and you would be better off with the BB1.
The MMP is endlessly repetitive, as he included from all different works of Boenninghausen.
You would be better off to get hold on the single works.

I deem important the following books [in order of importance]:
TT 1846
Characteristics 1835
SRA/ SRN 1835
Aphorisms 1864

Yikes. That IS one bulky book. Okay, I don't really think that's an viable option, at the moment anyway.
