Harvard Law School's 'copy' of Magna Carta revealed as original Researchers from King's College London and the University of East Anglia have discovered that a ‘copy’ of Magna Carta owned by Harvard Law School is in fact an extraordinarily rare original from 1300.

A ‘copy’ of the Magna Carta sold to @hls.harvard.edu library has been identified as an original version.

1 of only 6 intact originals from the 1300s, researchers from King’s & @uniofeastanglia.bsky.social describe it as “one of the world’s most valuable documents”
