In all reality, I'm not sure it matters. Someone wrote the thought, thousands pondered it. Many probably tried to prove it through a variety of exercises. Leonardo was the one that made it more accurate to the writings and took the greatest care anatomically. he may not have been the first, but he definitely did it the best.
