Constantine Lippe's repertory was an early foundational work that influenced Kent's repertory. It followed Hahnemann's schema of generals to particulars. While not entirely uniform, it arranged symptoms alphabetically within categories of location, sensation, sides, extension/radiation and modality. This pioneering repertory established guidelines for systematic repertorization despite some inconsistencies in construction between sections. It provided a base for the development of more advanced repertories like Kent's.

3.  Constantine lippe was the son of Adolph lippe
 Dr.lippie’s repertory is based on ‘ the
repertory to the manual’ published in
Allentown in 1838 by Dr.C.Hering.
 In the preface of the book the author has
written that this work is offered to the
profession as an index to the more
characteristic symptoms of the
materiamedica.and presents only sych
symptoms which proved to be characteristic
by experience of many

4.  First edition - 1879 by boericke and tafel
 First Indian edition 1933 by bhattacharya &co
 Fifth edition 1972 by B.jan pblishes

5.  This repertory is based on the first repertory
and materiamedica published in the English
language by Dr.C.Hering The repertory to
the manual published in Allentown in the
year 1838.
 Boenninghausen’s work
 A.lippe’smateriamedica
 Bell’s diarrhea
 H.N.Guernsey’ work

6.  A need was felt by the kent for a new and a more
complete and useful repertory .
 Initially kent used therapeutic pocket book but was

 He started to go through the repertories→ liked
the plan and arrangement repertory to more
characteristic symptoms of our material medica by
Constantine lippe

7.  He Added Notes To Each Syptom Or
Rubric.This Was Interleaved Many Time
 Hence Kent Got Into Contact With Lipppe
,Who Wanted Kent To Work Along With Lee
Who Was Preparing A 3rd Edition Of Lippes
Repertory
 By This Time Dr.Kent Had Prepared A
Repertory Of Urinary
Organs,chill,fever,sweat,etc.Hence It Canbe
Said That Lippes Work Was The Base For
Kents Repertory.

8.  Dr. Lippe used the principle ie, GENERALS
TO PARTICULARS. He has given first the
mental symptoms and then followed in the
order as per used in material medica pura
i.e, from above downwards.
 All the sections are to be compared with
generalities.

9.  After the death of Dr. C.Lippe all the
manuscripts he had written for a second
edition of his repertory was secured and
included in Dr. Edumand lee’s ‘ repertory of
the characteristic symptoms of the
homoeopathic materiamedica’. This
repertory might infact be considered as the
second edition of Dr.lippe’s book.

10.  Hahnemannian schema is followed and ends
with section called generalities which all
previous sections are to be compared
Repertory contains 3 parts
 1.preface
 2.repertory proper
 3.index of remedies.

11.  PREFACE ;
 it deals the philosophical background and
about publication of the repertory and books
referred And instructions to the users.

14.  Respiration
 chest and heart

 Generalities, aggravation and amelioration

15.  INDEX OF REMEDIES:
At the end of the book there is a index of remedies
with their abbreviations. which consist of 602
remedies.
 GRADATION:
 Dr.Lippe has used gradations for the remedies in
this repertory to the more characteristic symptoms
of the materiamedica
 1st grade- Italics
 2nd grade-Ordinary roman

16.  Rubrics are arranged alphabetically .in the section head
the rubrics and sub rubrics are arranged according to
the following schema :
 LOCATION;
SUB SENSATION,
SIDES-RIGHT,LEFT
EXTENSION /RADIATION.
MODALITIY
(Example)
 In chapter HEAD
 Forehead (page32)
-throbing.
--left side of forehead
--from forehead to occiput
 Conditions(page 40)
 Accompanied by(page45)

17.  SENSATION
 SUB LOCATION
SIDES-RIGHT,LEFT
EXTENSION /RADIATION.
MODALITIY
 CONDITIONS
 ACCOMPANIED BY
(Example )
 In chapter LOWER EXTREMITIES;
 Coldness (page303)
-feet
-On one side
--in the morning
--in the evening
 In morning (page 320)
 At night
 With epistaxis(page 322)

18.  -In conditions (modalities ,rubrics starts with
time followed by alphabetic arranged which
includes aggrevation and ameliorations.
 Under accompanied by rubrics arranged
alphabetically

19. - unuiformity in the arrangement of rubrics.
 Eg: in the chapter eyes and sight
 Burning
 Burning in the morning
 At twilight
 Blow the eye when rubbing
 On the brows
 In canthi
 Edges
 The lids

20.  The repertory although the rubrics have been
arranged on the basis of deductive logic i.e, from
general to particular but unuiformity in the
arrangement of rubrics.
 Eg: in the chapter eyes and sight
 Burning
 Burning in the morning
 At twilight
 Blow the eye when rubbing
 On the brows
 In canthi
 Edges
 The lids

21.  Whereas in chapter upper extremities :
 Swelling arms :

 Night
 Fingers

22.  On letting arms hang down
 Finger joint
 Finger tips
 Thumb
 Joints of
 Bluish
 Burning
 Burn with pain as from
 Cold
 Dropsical, lymphatic , soft
 Erysepalatous
 Hard
 Of axillary glands
 Hot
 Laninating
 Large
 Lymphatic

23.  Painful
 Painless
 Pale
 Red
 Scarlet red
 Shining
 Ending in suppuration
 In afternoon
 At night
 On morning in parts
 After paralysis

24.  With putrid smelling black blisters
 Rigidity
 Sensation in arms
 At night
 Shoulder
 With heaviness
 Hands, when entering in a room
 Veins on forearms and hands
In this location is followed by character that is
followed by modalities and all are mixed.

25.  This repertory is considered to be the precursor of
kent’s repertory..
 It deals with 602 remedies
 It follows the logic of generals to particulars
 The mind and generalities chapter are two most
important chapters of the repertory.
 The gradations – italics and roman are followed in
this repertory.
 This can be used for systematic repertorization of a
case as well as for reference work.

26.  He couldn’t follow uniform construction in all the
chapters
 -some places symptms arranged in straight sentences ,in
some places arranged in reportorial language
 Symptoms arranged in straight sentences are:
 Example in section 10 mouth ,palate ,toungue
1.salivation,with nausea and vomiting(page110)
2.ulcers in mouth ,with black base(page112)
 Symptoms arranged in reportorial language:
 Example in head section
--pressing heavy like a stone(pg 37)
--Entering in to cold air, when(pg41)
--Warm air,when

27.  In generalities lippe arrange time modalities in
alphabetical series for example for afternoon< ,have to
see A series ,for night < have to see N series
 different types of pain sensations are are arranged
alphabetically.
 -Rubrics related to temparaments like
bilious,choleric,phlegmatic are given alphabetically
 -Rubrics related to food and drinks are given
alphabetically ,beer < in B series and fruit< in F series
 -Some mental symptoms are given in generalities
chapters like
-company<
-carpholegia

,before, during,after.,menses,before,during,after
are given generalities chapter as wella s respective
sections like

 before micturation,during micturition,after
micturation
 menses,before,during,after
 The method of construction is not fixed ,rather
changed in every section

29.  Although there are some non uniformities in
the arrangement of rubrics still it is a good
pioneer work that showed a light in the
correct direction as a result of which a
correct repertory by kent has become
possible.
