ConybeareWilliam Daniel17871857MBritishSCIENCE: geologist William Daniel. 1787–1857, British geologist. He summarized all that was known about rocks at the time in Outlines of the Geology of England and Wales (1822)

Conybeare did not translate the episode of the swimming-match.

By Conybeare it was thought, in its present shape, to be the work of the bards about Canute's court.

Conybeare apparently knew nothing of the critical work of Grundtvig.

How much Conybeare improved the text may be seen by comparing his text and Latin translation with those of Thorkelin.

Conybeare did not edit the entire poem, and apparently never had any intention of so doing.
