First printed Lithuanian book "Catechismusa Prasty Szadei" ("The Simple Words of Catechism") in 1547 contained 11 religious hymns in Lithuanian with sheet music. Lithuanian jesuit Žygimantas Liauksminas (Sigismundus Lauxminus) published the first music handbook in Lithuania - "Ars et praxis musica" in 1667. It was a first book of the trilogy, devoted to Gregorian chant - other books include "Graduale pro exercitatione studentium" and "Antifonale ad psalmos, iuxta ritum S. Romanae Ecclesiae, decantandos, necessarium". The books were published at the University of Vilnius - S.R.M. Academicis Societatis Jesu.
