Algebra, chapter V, § 16. Differential criteria of separability

*Let LL be a separable finitely generated extension of KK and let SS be a subset of LL such that L=K(S)L = K(S). Then there exists a separating transcendence basis BB of LL over KK, contained in SS.

Since ΩK(L)\Omega_K(L) is generated by the differentials of the elements of SS, there exist ss elements x1,…,xsx_1, \ldots, x_s of SS such that (dx1,…,dxs)(dx_1, \ldots, dx_s) is a basis of ΩK(L)\Omega_K(L) over LL. Now it suffices to apply Th. 5.

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