Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus

_ (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.

‘Mundanorum ad hoc et ad illud mutacio corporum celestium… Scientia stellarum ex te et illis est. Astrologus non debet dicere rem specialiter sed universaliter… (124rb) Quod dixit Ptolomeus, ex te et illis, significat quod qui res futuras prenoscere desiderat — (141va) quanto melius quivimus exposuimus. Ptolomeus in hoc loco tricas et tricarum nomina posuit… (141vb) Stelle cum caudis sunt 9… ad modum argenti (100r) purissimi quod non potest — in regibus et divitibus apparebit. Et hec de cometis breviter distinximus. Nunc de conceptus et nativitatis hora dicendum est. Dixerunt Ptholomeus et Hermes quod Lune locus in hora qua — et hoc expertus fuit multotiens. Sic faciunt ascendentem secundum herum uranicum.’
