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.

‘Secundus liber quadrup<ar>titi Ptolomei. <B>ene sufficit nobis id quod universaliter sumus locuti super his in quibus homo debet inspicere — (74) Et postquam in universali modo perfecimus iudicium nativitatum finem in hoc loco huic libro imponere conveniens estimemus. Finis Deo coadiuvante.’

, Books II-IV, without Haly’s commentary. II, 1-19; III, 19-56; IV, 56-74. Substantial glosses by the scribe throughout (often more important than the text), which Markowski calls ‘Expositio Cracoviensis Quadripartiti Claudii Ptolomaei’. These glosses end on p. 75.
