Hello everyone,

I am googling on this subject since near an hour, browsing the Coq manual failing to find any information on the subject.

I have to precise I am still a begginer, and without any academic background.

I understand that Coq has his type system in the lambda-C corner of the Barendregt lambda-cube, where Sorts are Set, Prop and Type_i, Axioms are (Set: Type), (Prop:Type), (Type_i:Type_i+1), where Rules are (Prop, Prop, Prop) ... etc.

It's quite easy, using pen and paper, to draw for example the derivation tree that build the identity function.

Since I am very interested in understanding the fundation of Coq, I would be happy to find a command showing this derivation tree in some format...

Thanks in advance,

Best regards,


Jérémy Hervé,
Nantes, France
