The original Magna Carta, established in 1215, laid the foundation for the principle that the king is subject to the law, influencing constitutions worldwide. With only six known copies of the 1300 version, the revelation of Harvard’s find has stunned researchers.

Professor David Carpenter from King’s College London, along with Nicholas Vincent from the University of East Anglia, confirmed the authenticity of Harvard’s document by comparing it to other known copies and utilizing advanced imaging techniques.

Harvard’s tattered and faded copy of the Magna Carta is estimated to be worth millions of dollars, although the university has expressed no intention to sell it. The document’s colorful history, from its origins in England to its journey to Harvard, adds to its mystique.

Preserving History for Future Generations

As Harvard prepares to showcase its Magna Carta, scholars emphasize the document’s relevance in today’s world. With ongoing debates about governmental authority and individual liberties, the Magna Carta serves as a reminder of the importance of democracy.

From influencing the founding of the United States to being incorporated into the laws of seventeen states, the Magna Carta continues to inspire discussions about self-governance and individual rights.

Harvard’s Assistant Dean for Library and Information Services, Amanda Watson, highlights the significance of law libraries in promoting democratic values and educating future generations about the foundations of liberty.
