Below is a list of bishops of Edessa.




Early bishops


The following list is based on the records of the Chronicle of Edessa (to c.540) and the Chronicle of Zuqnin.




Jacobite (Syriac) bishops


These bishops belonged to the Syriac Orthodox Church. During the later period there were also Byzantine rite bishops alongside them.




Armenian bishops


These bishops belonged to the Armenian church. They ruled alongside Jacobite, Byzantine and Latin bishops.




Latin archbishops


In the first half of the twelfth century, during the period of the Crusades and the county of Edessa, there was a Latin rite archdiocese based in the city. It seems to have displaced the Byzantine bishop, but ruled alongside the Jacobite and Armenian bishops. From the 13th century on, titular bishops were sometimes appointed.
