The following is a joke! Nobody invented the paragraph - a paragraph is just a way of dividing your writing into shorter subjects

Dr D Allinson first invented the paragraph in 1400 after the famous Dr N Wheatley invented the full stop.

I believe that two doctors actually shared credit for inventing the paragraph - Dr. Lorenzo Graph and Dr. Ermentrude Graph - as they shared a last name, they named their invention the "pair of graphs," which has since degraded into the Word "paragraph."
