Abstract
We formulate and prove internal versions of the Yoneda lemma and of the Yoneda embedding theorem in a finitely complete, locally Cartesian closed -category : for every object and every universe classifying the diagonal of , the Yoneda map is a monomorphism. The proof uses only finite limits, dependent products and universes, and does not rely on the external Yoneda lemma. The result applies notably to every elementary -topos, where it recovers a theorem of Rasekh [Ras18].
