minimal predicate calculus

The calculus of predicates given by all axiom schemes of the minimal propositional calculus and by the usual quantifier axiom schemes and deduction rules, that is,

$$\forall xA(x)\supset A(t),\quad A(t)\supset\exists xA(x)$$

($t$ an arbitrary term), modus ponens and

$$\frac{C\supset A(a)}{C\supset\forall xA(x)},\quad\frac{A(a)\supset C}{\exists xA(x)\supset C}$$

(provided the variable $a$ does not occur in $A(x)$ and $C$).
