An original copy of the Magna Carta has been found in a Harvard University library, stunning British academics who hailed the school’s previously perceived imitation as “one of the world’s most valuable documents.”
The historic charter, which dates back to England’s King Edward I in 1300, was declared an original by eagle-eyed historians in the U.K. who launched an investigation into its authenticity after coming upon it online, Harvard University said in a release Thursday.
Nicholas Vincent, a professor of medieval history at the University of East Anglia, said it took “all of 30 milliseconds” for him to recognize the document’s authenticity after it was flagged to him by David Carpenter, a fellow professor of medieval history at King’s College London.
