_ (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.

⟨I.15⟩ Cap. XV. De videntibus et equivalentibus adinvicem

Rursus autem equivalere aiunt invicem partes, que ab eodem aut etiam ab utrolibet tropicorum punctorum equaliter distant, eo quod cum †in† utrolibet eorum Sol fuerit collocatus dies diebus et noctes noctibus exequet propriarium que horarum intervalla equali tempore perficiat. Hec autem se quoque videre adinvicem dicuntur tum ob ea quae dicta sunt tum etiam quod eorum quodlibet ex iisdem horizontis partibus exoritur et in iisdem occidit.
