Theory of Sets, chapter III, § 3. Equipotent sets. Cardinals

The set τZ(Eq(X,Z))\tau_Z(\mathrm{Eq}(X, Z)) is called the cardinal of X (or the power of X) and is written Card(X)\mathrm{Card}(X).

Since Eq(X,X)\mathrm{Eq}(X, X) is true, Card(X)\mathrm{Card}(X) is equipotent to X (Chapter I, § 4, Scheme S5). We have therefore proved the following result :

Bourbaki sets the proof directly after the statement, and the corpus does not separate them, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
