Eliyohu Raba. First edition Brunn 1802.
Commentary on Seder Taharos of the Mishna authored by the Vilna Gaon.
Published by R. Meir of Vilna with warm approbations of R. Mordechai Banet of Nikolsburg, R. Shmuel Landau of Prague and R. Eliezer Fleckles. The publisher also included a recommendation letter he had personally received from the Gaon as well as a letter he received from R. Yissachar Ber (brother of the Gaon) attesting to his integrity.
See Vinograd Sifrei Ha’Gra 241 for an extensive discussion on whether R. Meir edited this work himself or whether it was edited by R. Yaakov Kahana of Vilna (son in law of R. Yissachar Ber) disciple of the Gaon.
