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.

‘Ioannis Ioviani Pontani liber primus commentationum in centum sententiis Ptholomei ad ill<ustre>m principem Foedericum ducem Urbini foeliciter incipit. Tametsi publicarum rerum administratio, bellique gerendi cura deterrere me iure possent, Foederice dux fortissime… (3r) De mathematici officio et quid est. A te et a scientia, fieri enim nequit ut qui sciens est particulares rerum formas pronuntiet… Nec medici, nec morales (!) philosophi sola est cognitio, sed quaedam etiam operatio — tum stellarum radii vel trahentes eas, vel impellentes pro qualitate aspectus et virium efficatia. Τελος.’
