%X In a chapter from Esir¨¹ddin el-Ebher£¿¡¯s work entitled Hidayet¨¹¡¯l-Hikme, besides meteorological incidents like earthquake, winds, clouds and rain, he also gives some information about ¡°Kavsu Kuzah (Rainbow)¡±. Mevlanazade (Mollazade) el-Herev£¿ has written a work to explain Hidayet¨¹¡¯l-Hikme and included a one-page explanation of this particular chapter. The name of his work is ¡°£¿erhu Hidayeti¡¯l-Hikme¡±. Mevlanazade did not change Ehberi¡¯s order and he examined the subjects one by one. While telling of the atmospheric incidents, he explained it by saying ¡° one of them is a rainbow¡±. Later on, this rainbow incident caught people¡¯s attention and some scholars have written special ris¨¡lahs on this particular subject. Some of them annotated the existing material and some of them have written hashiyas. Mevlanazade¡¯s writings on Kavsu Kuzah (Rainbow) takes place in a chapter of ¡°£¿erhu Hidayeti¡¯l-Hikme¡± and also they have been exclusively hand-copied and titled ¡°Risalatu Kavsu Kuzah¡±. Karaveys el-Kocav£¿ is a scholar who was raised in Kocaeli, he has written a hashiya for Mevlanazade¡¯s ris¨¡lah titled ¡°Kavzu Kuzah¡± on request and he intended to help the newer, eager and sincere students with this. He examined the sentences of the ris¨¡lah one by one and occasionally gave extra information. He explained with some geometrical drawings, the creation of different angles during the reflections of a ray coming from a source of light and hitting a shiny object. In this study, we will examine and criticize the ris¨¡lah while considering the differences between copies of the work. We will ensure that the subject is well explained by giving the Ebheri¡¯s text, Mevlanazade¡¯s explanatory booklet and Kocav£¿¡¯s hashiya with their translations. With this modest study, we intend to contribute to both astronomy and optics sciences and Kocaeli¡¯s cultural legacy
