Harvard unearths rare 1300 Magna Carta long buried in its library’s shadows

For decades, Harvard unknowingly housed a priceless 1300 Magna Carta, misjudged as a mere replica. Acquired in 1946 for just $27.50, the document was recently identified as one of only seven surviving copies. Its rediscovery not only redefines Harvard’s archives but also reignites global interest in the centuries-old foundation of constitutional liberty and governance.
