leyden jar was the first capacitor
The Leyden Jar was the original capacitator invented in Holland and Germaney at almost the same time.
The insulator in a Leyden Jar is the glass or ceramic material that separates the inner and outer conductive layers. This insulator prevents the stored electric charge from flowing between the two layers, allowing the Leyden Jar to store electrical energy.

The first capacitor was the Leyden jar, invented independently in the mid-1740s by both Ewald Georg von Kleist and Pieter van Musschenbroek.

Paul Leyden's birth name is Paul Augustine Leyden.
A Leyden jar is a device used to store static electricity. It consists of a glass jar coated inside and out with metal foil with a metal rod or wire passing through the lid to make contact with the inner foil. When a high voltage charge is applied to the inner foil via the rod, the charge is stored in the glass insulator until it is discharged through the outer foil, creating a spark.
