_ (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).

At the beginning and at the end, these placeholders are superfluous.

‘Quod perpendicularis cadens ex extremitate arcus super diametrum productam ex extremitate eius secunda sit sinus eius… (2ra) In capitulo secundo Almagesti, sciendum est universaliora esse preponenda… (96va) similiter capitulum istud planum est et nichil est in eo dicendum. Finite sunt notule Almagesti. Sciendum est quod in secundo libro est quidam de proportionibus — quinque graduum Piscium et medii et fecerunt sicut dictum est in notulis in libro.’
