Harvard's 'cheap' Magna Carta turns out to be rare 1300 royal edition - Business Standard

Quick Summary:

After the 1215 original printed by King John, five other editions were written in the following decades — until 1300, the last time the full document was set out and authorised by the king's seal.

One of them, Thomas Clarkson, became friends with William Lowther, hereditary lord of the manor of Appleby, and he possibly gave it to Clarkson.“There's a chain of connection there, as it were, a smoking gun, but there isn't any clear proof as yet that this is the Appleby Magna Carta.

The 1300 version of Magna Carta is “different from the previous versions in a whole series of small ways and the changes are found in every single one,” Carpenter said.
