   these two papers were originally published one after the other, so i brought them back together for a printed copy of the translations and got a good excuse to put the grothendieck demon somewhere

     @thosgood I forgot that passage was in German... G. must have been fluent in at least 4 languages: French, Dutch (did he actually speak Dutch? Or just have a Dutch name?), German and English. Did he also like to speak fluent Vietnamese?

     @julesh @thosgood «Grothendieck» is a Low German name: Johanna Grothendieck was born in the North German town of Blankenese, on 21 August 1900.[1] Her surname, Grothendieck, comes from the Plattdütsch word for "big dike".[2]
