`_`	(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).

Oxford, All Souls College, 95

Date:

s. XIII^ex (a marginal note by the scribe on f. 27r provides calendar conversions for the year ‘1250 et 6 menses’, which led Crossley to conclude that this was the date of the MS, but the same note appears in at least three other MSS of the Almagest, as Zepeda pointed out).

Or.:

northern (‘probably French’ acc. Watson, but Georges strongly argues that the scribe is English).

Prov.:

Oxford, All Souls College (ex-libris f. VIr, 2r, I^av), no later than c. 1440.

Parchment, VI+120+I^a f., a single neat hand, beautiful MS with richly decorated initials.

Ptolemaica (single text), except for added notes, including ‘Cum volueris per illud instrumentum dirigere significatores (?) equatorii (?)…’ (IVva-IVvb, with drawing of the instrument f. IVr).
