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.

‘Dixit Egideus de Tebaldis Lombardus de civitate Parmensi: Scire et intelligere gloriosum est quia omnis sapientia a Deo est… (5vb) Dixit Aly: Verba que dixit sapientissimus Ptholomeus in arte iudiciorum astronomie… (6vb) Capitulum primum primi tractatus libri quatuor parcium magistri Ptholomei. Dicit Ali: (7ra) Res, Miçori, quibus proficiuntur pronosticaciones accepte de astronomia maiores et nobiliores sunt due — (127va) posuit in hoc loco (corr. ex libro) sunt res et radices quibus ars ista. Explicit. Benedictus sit Deus gloriosus et sublimis et Deus illum, scilicet Iohannem Colim, dirigat qui scripsit. Amen. Volo in hoc loco tibi dare exemplum trium nativitatum ut melius intendas quicquid locuti sumus in eis, et prima nativitas est in qua ego — hec sunt que tibi glosavi et in quibus studium et mentem oponas et Deus te dirigat in viam rectam. Amen.’
