dear ingrid

read carefully his own introduction,-- all what's neccessary to start with is there.
the introduction in Allen's version by Wilson(?) is the atempt of a kent prescriber to use the TT and therefore missleading. I am not at home at the moment but once there can put up his introduction.

regards, hans

hello Hans !
yes - it is the Allen's version, I have by Roberts and Wilson.

now - as we are at different editions: how can I achieve a 4. edition of the Synoptic Key of Boger. in my Reference Works software I have the 5. edition.
the danish school for classical homeopathy has been using Phataks MM basicly and I am grateful for your historical quality repass with your critic of Phatak and your emphasis on Boger.
thank you very much !
regards
ingrid

I highly recommend George Dimitriades' edition and companion volume. I found once I started working with this, although it has some drawbacks, the original was much more accessible to me. It's also interesting to read Dimitriades' explanation of why he started working with Boeninghausen.

Regards,
Vera

Dear members

i know most of the versions of the therapeutic pocketbook.

Even though people seem to like dimitriadis's version, it should not be overlooked, that his version is the farthest apart version ever published.

Dimitriades ( like Gypser ) made additions to the book from a copy of a copy of additions which are supposed to be Boenninghausen's own. The reliability of this source is more than doubtful.

the changes in grading made by both are based on the assumption, that each underlining in the handwriting reflects an upgrade of one grade, which leaves the possibility of 8 grades. this does not reflect Boenninghausen's intentions.

dimitriades rearranged the chapters completely and by that re-structuring made the remedy relationships (part 7) useless because the sub rubrics of the remedy relationships refer to chapters in the original book. (as you can see in BB1) They are an important part of the work and in daily use.

Gypser and dimitriades's versions did not rectify the mistakes made in the original print. Boenninghausen's manuscript of the Tt is in the institute of medicine in Stuttgart. i compared it with the printed version (1846) and noted all changes in my own copies.
I published them here:
http://www.boger-forum.de/phpbb/viewtopic.php?t=410

Such radical changes to structure and content of the TT raises doubts in Dimitriades's understanding and expertise when it comes to Boenninghausen's work.

Boger Synoptic Key fourth edition: You may have a good chance to obtain a photo copy from Norbert Winter in Karlsruhe. He has all the Boger stuff.

regards, Hans

dear Vera !
thank you for your post - I am still new at this - so I just lost a long post, I wrote to you,
I checket Dimitriades web-site and it looks to me, that he brings very similar arguments as Hans.
both in loving Boenninghausens pocketbock and in the critic of the 5. edition.

I follewed Hans suggestion and found this link, which gives an introduktion for the lucky ones, that can read german. ;-)

Dear Ingrid & other members,

A few months ago I downloaded one literature concerning Boenninghausen's concept, but did not keep a note of its source site. Anyway, it may help you.

"THE LOGIC OF BÖNNINGHAUSEN" by Dr. Karl Robinson

Dear Arindam !
thank you very much for this basic introduction. I just was reading it quickly, but will print it out for closer study. it looks like a good start for me.
so with this tekst and the the introduktion of Bønninghausen himself - as Hans recommended - at the start of the 4. edition of the TT.
if I get a copy, I will try to pass it on.
i guess we are started on a fine journey ....
regards
ingrid

dear members !
this little side-discussion has had high value for me. - I hope someone else got inspired too ;-)

I have repassed all my material on Boger and Boenninghausen, checking ressources on the net, getting a clearer picture about the historic background og most of all - it gave me clear directions how to redirect my efforts by using the material I already have more effectively.

this material is for eksampel a little piece of simple but high quality software - a repertory of Thomas Schäfer, which I have for already many months, but I only used it occasionally. Now I can see how good it is, with the different repertory editions, easy to choose - with its differnet languages, german, english, spanish .... I will use it more and I will learn more from the here mentioned material how to use its inbuilt method.
(no - this is not advertising, at least I do not get any provenue - i am just thankful)

I do not know how to say it more clearly, but just 2 days in the community already gave me a boost in quality by providing useful information. great !
so thank you every one
roger and out
ingrid
