_ (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.

⟨III.11⟩ Cap. XI. De corporis forma et complexione

Cum de his que ad sermonem de temporibus vite pertinente tractaverimus, eorum que particularia sunt secundum proprium ordinem initium capientes, de corporis forma et figuratione deinceps diferamus, quoniam ea que corporis sunt adrespectu animae secundum naturam prius figurantur; eo quod corpus materialius fere habeat corpus simul cum eo existentes propriarum commixtionum apparentias, anima vero post hec et paulatim aptitudines a prima causa susceptas demonstret, atque eaque exterius se habent adhuc magis progressu temporis succedentibus contingant.
