Hin Tzedek VeTikun HaMidoth

One of the earliest Hebrew books printed in Vilna. It draws parallels between Maimonides’s other works such as the Moreh Nevuchim, plus Albo’s Ikarim and Arama’s Akeidath Yitzchak. The author who was a Maggid and Dayan in Vilkomir, Lida and other towns, published a number of works including Amudei Shamayim and Kanfei Nesharim. Influenced by the Vilna Gaon, he was the great-nephew of the celebrated Chassidic luminaries R. Elimelech of Lizhensk and R. Zushye of Annapoli. See E. Katzman, Hagaon R. Abraham Lichtstein, in Yeshurun, Vol. 34 (2016) pp. 737-41. As to whether this is the very first book printed in Vilna, see H. Liberman, Ohel Rochel, Vol. III, pp. 505-9.
