This document compares three homeopathic repertories: Kent's Repertory, Boger-Boenninghausen Characteristic Repertory (BBCR), and Allen's Therapeutic Pocket Book and Prescriber (BTPB). It outlines the key details of each repertory's introduction, contributors, philosophical background, construction, grading of symptoms, unique rubrics, and arrangement. Overall, the document provides a high-level overview of the histories and structures of these three important homeopathic repertories in homeopathy.
