Its intended audience consists of logicians, type theorists, category theorists and (theoretical) computer scientists.
Preface. Contents. Preliminaries. Prospectus. Logic, type theory, and fibred category theory. The logic and type theory of sets. Introduction to fibred category theory. Fibrations.

Categories of fibrations. Fibrewise structure and fibred adjunctions. Fibred products and coproducts. Indexed categories. Simple type theory. The basic calculus of types and terms. Functorial semantics. Exponents, products and coproducts. Semantics of simple type theories. Semantics of the untyped lambda calculus as a corollary. Simple parameters. Equational logic. Logics. Specifications and theories in equational logic. Algebraic specifications. Fibred equality. Fibrations for equational logic. Fibred functorial semantics. First order predicate logic. Signatures, connectives and quantifiers. Fibrations for the first order predicate logic. Functorial interpretation and internal language. Subobject fibrations I: regular categories. Subobject fibrations II: coherent categories and logoses. Subset types. Quotient types. Quotient types, categorically. A logical characterisation of subobject fibrations.
