This Element explores medieval arguments for the impossibility of infinity, focusing on the early stages of the development of the notion of 'infinities of different sizes'. The Equality Argument and Mapping Argument, initially proposed in opposition to infinity, have played significant roles in the historical evolution of this concept.
