_ (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.

⟨IV.4⟩ Cap. IIII. De nuptiis

Cum post hec sermo de coniugiis ordine sequatur, de legitima viri et mulieris coniuctione hoc modo considerandum est. In viris quidem Lunam ipsam, quomodo sit disposita perspici oportet. Primum enim in quadris orientalibus inventa in iuventute viros facit copulari aut cum feminis etate inferioribus coniungi, in quadris vero occidentalibus tardiora corr. ex tardiores efficit nuptias coniugia aut senioribus feminis coniungit, si vero sub radiis fuerit et cum Saturno figurata, celibes omnino permanebunt.
