Benedict (flourished c.1098–1104) was the first archbishop of Edessa of the Latin rite. He was probably appointed soon after Count Baldwin I founded the county of Edessa in 1098. He was consecrated by Patriarch Daimbert of Jerusalem in December 1099. He may have replaced a Byzantine bishop, if one was still in residence after the Byzantines lost the city in 1087. Although the highest-ranking churchman in the county of Edessa, Benedict was subordinated to the patriarch of Antioch in accordance with the 6th-century Notitiae episcopatuum. The contemporary historian William of Tyre calls Benedict, Daimbert and the Antiochene patriarch, Bernard, three "distinguished lights of the church".

| - Benedict (flourished c.1098–1104) was the first archbishop of Edessa of the Latin rite. He was probably appointed soon after Count Baldwin I founded the county of Edessa in 1098. He was consecrated by Patriarch Daimbert of Jerusalem in December 1099. He may have replaced a Byzantine bishop, if one was still in residence after the Byzantines lost the city in 1087. Although the highest-ranking churchman in the county of Edessa, Benedict was subordinated to the patriarch of Antioch in accordance with the 6th-century Notitiae episcopatuum. The contemporary historian William of Tyre calls Benedict, Daimbert and the Antiochene patriarch, Bernard, three "distinguished lights of the church". In August 1102, Muʿīn ad-Dīn Soqman, bey of Mardin, invaded the county of Edessa and attacked the town of Saruj. Although the town was taken, the citadel was defended by Archbishop Benedict until Count Baldwin II came up with an army and relieved him. Benedict participated in the battle of Harran on 7 May 1104. He was perhaps unarmed, since William of Tyre calls him "a man without experience in warfare". Early in the battle he was captured, but he was soon freed, either because his guard was a renegade Christian or because of a courageous rescue by Tancred of Hauteville. He is not mentioned in any record after that, and was succeeded by Hugh before 1120. (en)
- Benedetto (... – ...; fl. circa 1098-1104) è stato il primo arcivescovo di Edessa secondo il rito latino.Fu probabilmente nominato subito dopo che il conte Baldovino I, poi re di Gerusalemme, fondò la contea di Edessa nel 1098. Fu consacrato vescovo dal Patriarca di Gerusalemme Dagoberto nel dicembre del 1099. Se era ancora presente un vescovo bizantino in città, dopo la fine del controllo da parte dell'omonimo impero nel 1087, lo sostituì. Sebbene fosse il presbitero dal più alto rango nella contea di Edessa, Benedetto rimaneva subordinato al patriarca di Antiochia Bernardo secondo la Notitia Episcopatuum del VI secolo. Lo storico contemporaneo Guglielmo di Tiro definì Benedetto, Dagoberto e Bernardo tre "illustri luci della chiesa". Nell'agosto del 1102, Soqman ibn Artuq invase la contea di Edessa e attaccò la città di Suruç. Benedetto guidò la difesa della città fino all'arrivo del conte Baldovino II con l'esercito. Benedetto prese parte anche alla battaglia di Harran il 7 maggio 1104. Forse era disarmato, dal momento che Guglielmo di Tiro lo descrisse come "un uomo senza esperienza in guerra". Fu catturato all'inizio della battaglia, ma fu presto liberato, o perché la sua guardia era un cristiano rinnegato oppure per un salvataggio da parte del cavaliere Tancredi di Galilea. Benedetto non fu più menzionato in nessun documento; prima del 1120 alla guida dell'arcidiocesi gli successe . (it)
