Line 77: ==Usage and spelling== Since there is no direct, consistent correlate of the [[English]] [[definite article]] in [[Latin]], the usual academic convention is to refer to the document in English without the article as "Magna Carta" rather than "'''the''' Magna Carta". According to the [[Oxford English Dictionary\|OED]], the first written appearance of the term was in [[1218]]: ''"Concesserimus libertates quasdam scriptas in '''magna carta''' nostra de libertatibus."'' ([[Latin]]: "We concede the liberties here written in our '''great charter (''magna carta'')''' of liberties.") However, "'''the''' Magna Carta" is also frequently used. In the past, the document has also been referred to as "Magna Charta". ==Other Magna Carta==
