_ (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.

‘Georgii Trapezuntii ad libros Magne Ptholomei compositionis introductio. Capitulum primum de divisione omnis circuli et precipue zodiaci. <Q>uoniam libros Ptholomei de motibus celestium, quibus nescio an quicquam altius ac rationis et scientie via certius inveniri aut fingi possit, ex Greca lingua in Latinam vertimus… (13v) Expositio Magne compositionis Ptholomei a Georgio Trapezunda facta incipit. Codicis huius quem exposituri gratia salvatoris sumus volumina librique XIII sunt, in quibus Ptholomeus intendit erraticarum stellarum et fixarum motus invenire — (260v) maius inter observationes temporis spatium exigitur quam vita hominis sit’ (followed by diagrams and notes).
