Algebra, chapter V, § 7. Separable algebraic extensions

— A field K is said to be separably closed if every separable algebraic extension of K is trivial.

An algebraically closed field is separably closed. Conversely, if a perfect field K is separably closed, it is algebraically closed, because every algebraic extension of K is separable (V, p. 3 , Prop. 2).

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
