Proof Theory of Martin-Lof Type Thoery - And Overview
(by Anton Setzer)

We give an overview over the historic development of proof theory and the main techniques used in ordinal theoretic proof theory. We argue, that in a revised Hilbert's programme, ordinal theoretic proof theory has to be supplemented by a second step, namely the development of strong equiconsistent constructive theories.

This is heavy stuff, and it's much too hot in Jerusalem at the moment for me to read this paper carefully.

This paper can serve as an overview but isn't a very good introduction. I wouldn't recommend this paper for those without a good CS/math background.

Just yesterday I spent an hour looking for a paper like this! Thanks! And it's not too hot in Riga for me to read it :-)
