This is the classic essential repertory for a starter in homeopathy by the master homeopath Kent. The repertory of Homeopathic Materia Medica by James Tyler Kent became the standard and remains so until this day. Kents Repertory belongs on the bookshelf of every practicing homeopath or student. Though repertories such as Synthesis have corrected errors and improved content, Kents opus remains viable to this day since first published in 1897. Kent published this massive guidebook on human ailments and their associated homeopathic remedies, Repertory of the Homeopathic Materia Medica and a Word Index---called repertory of homoeopathic medicines.

James Tyler Kent (1849–1916) was an American Doctor best remembered as a forefather of modern homeopathy. In 1897 Kent published a massive guidebook on human physical and mental disease symptoms and their associated pseudoscientific homeopathic preparations entitled Repertory of the Homeopathic Materia Medica, which has been translated into a number of languages. It has been the blueprint to many modern repertories used throughout the world and even remains in use by some homeopathic practitioners today.
