Zusammenfassung

We develop an abstract proof calculus for logics whose sentences are "Horn sentences" of the form: $$(\forall X)H \Rightarrow c$$ and prove an institutional generalization of Birkhoff completeness theorem. This result is then applied to the particular cases of Horn clauses logic, the "Horn fragment" of preorder algebras, order-sorted algebras and partial algebras and their infinitary variants.
