The programming language, Prolog, was born of a project aimed not at producing a programming language but at processing natural languages; in this case, French. The project gave rise to a preliminary version of Prolog at the end of 1971 and a more definitive version at the end of 1972. This article gives the history of this project and describes in detail the preliminary and then the final versions of Prolog. The authors also felt it appropriate to describe the Q-systems since it was a language which played a prominent part in Prolog's genesis.
