  Abstract:
Basic Predicate Logic, BQC, is a proper subsystem of Intuitionistic Predicate Logic, IQC. For every formula φ in the language
{∨, ∧,→, T, ⊥,∀, ∃}, we associate two sequences of formulas
< φ01, … > and < φ0, φ1,… > in the same language. We prove that for every sequent φ⇒ ψ, there are natural numbers m,n, such that IQC \vdash φ⇒ ψ iff BQC \vdashφn ⇒ ψm. Some applications of this translation are mentioned.
