I’m sure it’s informative.

Found this, though one can't believe everything found on the Internet: "The circle of fifths was introduced in the late 1600s and early 1700s by composer and theorist Nikolay Diletsky as a tool for songwriters and composers to help them in their work123. It was later improved upon by Johann David Heinichen in the 1720s, resulting in the modern version we use today23. Although the concept can be traced back to medieval music theorist Guido of Arezzo, the actual circle diagram was formalized in the 18th century4. An early version, known as the Pythagorean Circle, is said to have been around since 600 BC"
