`_`	(the underscore) is the placeholder for exactly one character.
`%`	(the percent sign) is the placeholder for no, one or more than one character.
`%%`	(two percent signs) is the placeholder for no, one or more than one character, but not for blank space (so that a search ends at word boundaries).

I, 1r-6v; II, 6v-19v; III, 19v-28v; IV, 28v-40r; V, 40r-53v; VI, 53v-65v; VII, 66r-81r; VIII, 81r-94r; IX, 94r-106v; X, 106v-115v; XI, 116r-127v; XII, 127v-132r; XIII, 132r-144r. The text opens at the end of chapter I.1, due to the loss of one folio (or more) at the beginning. Other folia are missing between f. 2 and 3 (probably three folia, i.e. I.7-I.11: ‘… et aggregantur mota et stant fixa in medio ex sustentatione et coangustatione eorum /3r/ <tables of arcs and chords starting with 90°30′>), between f. 115 and 116 (two folia, i.e. the end of Book X and the beginning of Book XI: ‘… et erit angulus BDM totus in 47 partes et 4 minuta et secundum istas partes erit angulus EDM 11 partes /116r/ DH et ET et quia angulus NZS et est angulus cursus equalis in longitudine IA ostensum est…’) and between f. 127 and 128 (several folia, from XII.1 to XII.5: ‘… sicut proprie velocitatis orbis egredientis centri ad ve<locitatem> /128r/ secunda duorum autem arcuum arcus qui est super lineam TR…’). Further folia might be missing in other places. A few marginal notes by the scribe. Four glosses in a later hand f. 1r-1v.
