Abstract: We present a formalization of higher-order logic in the Isabelle proof assistant, building directly on the foundational framework Isabelle/Pure and developed to be as small and readable as possible. It should therefore serve as a good introduction for someone looking into learning about higher-order logic and proof assistants, without having to study the much more complex Isabelle/HOL with heavier automation. To showcase our development and approach we explain a sample proof, describe the axioms and rules of our higher-order logic, and discuss our experience with teaching the subject in a classroom setting.
