PAL

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.

Vienna, Österreichische Nationalbibliothek, 5273

s. XVI1 (1527 for f. 1r-257r).

Or.:

f. 1r-257r were copied by Johannes Vögelin at the University of Vienna (f. 138v: ‘Finivi Iohannes Vögelin Heylprunensis quinta die Iunii anno Christi 1527 in collegio civium Wiennensium’; f. 257r: ‘Finitus est is liber per me magistrum Ioannem Vögelin Heylprunensem Vienne in bursa Lilii anno Christi 1527, die nono Aprilis’). As Nothaft has shown, f. 91r-138v were certainly copied on MS Vienna, ÖNB, 5292, f. 199r-242v (see Nothaft, ‘The Chronological Treatise’ and ‘John of Murs’), and the same might also be true for the Ptolemaic section (f. 35v-90v = MS 5292, f. 1r-65v).

Prov.:

Philipp Eduard Fugger (1546-1618).

Paper, 355 f., several hands, one of which (Johannes Vögelin) copied f. 1r-257r.
