I've been pouring over many different copies of The Magna Carta.
I'm going to assume everyone here knows the background of the document.
I was hoping some of the experts here at FF could give us some stories
about the hand that was used. There were four original copies, only one
is known to survive since 1215.
Here is a link to the original that you can really zoom in on and inspect.
Iron gall ink on parchment!

Perhaps the experts may chime in and let us know.
Cheers!
