No one really invented the rosary- it was given to St. Dominic by the Virgin Mary.

The rosary is very old, we do not really know how old, but we do know that the traditional Dominican rosary that is most commonly said nowadays has been associated with the Dominican Order for over four hundred years. Pious legend has it that it was given to St. Dominic by Our Lady, as mentioned above, but this has never been proven.
It was introduced by Saint Dominic.

AnswerThe origin of the rosary is nebulous, as it came from many other devotions and only gradually took the form we know today. The most common rosary today is the Dominican Rosary, so called as the St. Dominic and his Order have been its greatest promoters for the past four centuries or more (Saint Dominic lived in the thirteen century).

The Rosary originated through the coalescence of popular devotions to Jesus and Mary from the twelfth century onward. Its present form dates from about the fifteenth century. Carthusians contributed greatly toward is development; Dominicans have been its greatest promoters.
Mary did not start the rosary. The concept first appeared with Eastern Christian monks in the third century, probably even earlier in a simpler prayer process. In Catholic belief it is most commonly associated with St. Dominic.
There are two theories on where the Rosary came from: the first is more of a Pious legend (although many, myself included) believe it to be true, and the second is a historical development.
Pious Legend:The legend is is that the Rosary was given to Saint Dominic in 1214 by Our Lady as a means to combat the Albigensian Heresy that was popular at the time. Historical Development:The theory regarding the historical development of the Rosary is that during the early times of monasticism the Monks would pray all 150 Psalms every day, but the Monks who couldn't read would pray 150 Our Fathers every day. Over time this devotion added on Hail Mary's, Mysteries to meditate on, and the Glory Be and became the Rosary we know today..
