Yeah just go to wikipedia and find out who coined the term :) I love the original version vector paper, it's from 1983 and kind of funny in parts:

"Network partitioning can completely destroy mutual consistency in the worst case, and this fact has led to a certain amount of restrictiveness, vagueness, and even nervousness in past discussions, of how it may be handled"

But as a general starting point, all roads seem to lead to Lamport 78 (Time, Clocks). If you have a specific area of interest I or others might be able to point you in the right direction.
