**OMNIBENE**

- A master of theology who lived around the mid-12th century, probably in Bologna, and may perhaps be identified with the canonist OMNIBONUS OF BOLOGNA, author of the first *Abreviatio decreti*.

In any case, O. is the author of the *Tractatus et quorum sententiae collectae ex diversis auctoribus* (cod. lat. Mon. 19.134, formerly belonging to the monastery of Tegernsee, ff. 148-228), a compilation based on the *Sententiae* of Abelard, as well as on the *Summa de Sacramentis* and the *Summa sententiarum*. In his writings, some of the errors for which Abelard was condemned are found. It is presumed that O. wrote his works after Abelard’s death, whom he cites several times.
