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.

‘Incipit liber quatuor tractatuum Ptholomei Alfillud in sciencia astrorum iudiciorum, in quo sunt 60 capitula. Et in primo tractatu sunt 24 capitula. Capitulum primum in collectione intellectus sciencie iudiciorum astrorum… (1va) Rerum, Yesure, in quibus est prognosticabilis sciencie stellarum profectio magnas et precipuas duas esse deprehendimus — (101vb) hoc in loco huic libro finem imponere non incongruum existimamus. (102ra) Cum proiectionem radiorum — locus radiacionis equate. Explicit Quadripartitum Ptholomei de iudiciis astrorum.’

= Ptolemy, Quadripartitum (tr. Plato of Tivoli) (A.2.1)

. I, 1va-20va; II, 20va-40rb; III, 40rb-78rb; IV, 78rb-101vb; Pseudo-Ptolemy’s Liber proiectionis radiorum stellarum (B.6), 102ra-102vb (see below). Glosses by the scribe, which often open ‘Sensus huius littere est…’ and which also use Haly Abenrudian’s commentary. From II.3 (22vb) onwards, these glosses have also been inserted into the text, in smaller script (e.g. f. 22vb: ‘Superius dixit Tholomeus quod primus dominus huius triplicitatis est Sol…’).

102ra–⁠102vb

‘Cum proiectionem radiorum stellarum scire volueris, scias gradus ascendentis — et quod collectum fuerit erit locus radiacionis equate. Explicit Quadripartitum Ptholomei de iudiciis astrorum.’

= Pseudo-Ptolemy, Liber proiectionis radiorum stellarum (B.6)

, as part of the previous text. Glosses by the scribe.

‘In primis tractatibus nostris notavimus per dicta Ptholomei que rationabiliter conveniunt in hac arte… Bene sufficit nobis id quod universaliter sumus locuti super hiis in quibus debet homo inspicere — sunt laboriose dicte mulieres et servientes, etc.’
