Harvard Magna Carta Discovery, David Carpenter
Harvard University discovered that a document purchased for $27.50 in 1946 is actually an original 1300 Magna Carta issued by King Edward I. The discovery was made by Professor David Carpenter of King's College London while browsing Harvard's online archives. Authentic Magna Carta documents have previously fetched over $21 million at auction, making this a significant find for the university's law library.
