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.

‘Quidam princeps nomine Albuguafe in li<bro suo quem scientiarum electio>nem et verborum nominavit… (1v) <Bonum scir>e fuit quod sapientibus non deviantibus visum est — abbreviationem, arrogantiam et collaudationem, tunc iam sequitur et honestum est ut ponamus hic finem libro. Expleta est dictio XIII libri Ptholomei et cum ea conpletur liber Almagesti de disciplinalibus.’
