| Sep 12, 2012 at 11:07 | comment | added | Julien Puydt | About the Cartan quotation : the french expression equivalent to "vicious circle" is about a snake biting its own tail -- so it has nothing to do with the snake's lemma. | |
| Sep 12, 2012 at 9:49 | comment | added | Fred Rohrer | And I confirm that the relevant pages of said french first edition look (up to language) as the english ones linked above. In particular, they mention "le diagramme de serpent". | |
| Sep 12, 2012 at 9:18 | comment | added | François Brunault | I confirm that the original edition of Algèbre commutative, Chap. 1 dates back from 1961. For the list of Bourbaki's original editions, see www.iecn.u-nancy.fr/~eguether/archives/elements.pdf | |
| Sep 12, 2012 at 8:49 | comment | added | Ketil Tveiten | For what it's worth: the English version of Bourbaki dates from 1981, but the Russian translation from 1971 uses the name "snake diagram" ("змеевидная диаграмма"). | |
