Looked the author up on Wikipedia and found he has also recently written a book on the Magna Carta called Magna Carta: The Making And Legacy Of The Great Charter.

As a result, the usual academic convention is to refer to the document in English without the article as "Magna Carta" rather than "the Magna Carta".
