I agree that Georg Cantor was the first
who introduced Cardinality
but he didn't define it! he only characterized it.
Cantor's approach to Cardinality was more akin
to the primitive approach of Cardinality that I
mentioned in this post.

It was Frege who presented a "DEFINED" concept
of Cardinality, a definition that
Russell revived later.
