From what I understand these drafts went through many stages before being eventually incorporated in the official "Éléments de Mathématique". Many books however (like Godement's "Théorie des faisceaux" or Lang's "Rapport sur la cohomologie des groupes" ) originated from drafts that had not been so incorporated. The only place I know where Samuel's text is evoked is in Grothendieck's letter to Serre mentioned in the Edit to my answer. | |

| Jun 1, 2017 at 17:25 | comment | added | Georges Elencwajg | Dear @Mikhail, Grothendieck did not try to publish his vision of algebraic geometry in the Bourbaki series "Éléments de Mathématique" because it would have taken several thousands of pages. However he published several surveys in the "Séminaire Bourbaki", most notably the one pertaining to the construction of the Hilbert schemes: see here. | |
| Jun 1, 2017 at 8:18 | comment | added | Mikhail Katz | Georges, thanks for an interesting post. Did Grothendieck try to publish his vision of algebraic geometry in the context of the Bourbaki oeuvre? Is there a discussion of this in the literature? | |

Changed my mistaken date for Grothendieck's letter
