In the D. Monk book "Introduction to Set Theory"
iI find that the (first in the bibliography dates order) definition of Universe (in set theory) come from:
Tarski, Alfred (1938). "Über unerreichbare Kardinalzahlen""Über unerreichbare Kardinalzahlen"
Fundamenta Mathematicae 30: 68–89.
And it is exatlyexactly what SGA IV.1 reports.
