According to De Bruijn himself, the existence of De Bruijn sequences for each order were first proved, for the case of alphabets with two elements, by **Camille Flye Sainte-Marie** in 1894, whereas the generalization to larger alphabets is originally due to Tanja van Ardenne-Ehrenfest and himself. || toc =Selected Publications=
