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.

‘Inter utiliores vias quas in editionibus viderim sapientum de astrorum doctrinantium in fluxibus processus quem gloriosus iste astronomorum signifer Ptholomeus Soludianus in libro quatuor partium ordinavit… Que (!) sunt species ad pronosticandum completum requisite secundum quod duobus modis — ad varietatem coloris prout sepe antea dictum est. Et hec sunt in summa sententie domini Ptholomei de rebus et accidentibus universalibus ex secundo libro eius collecte etc. Finit liber iste feliciter sub salutis anno 1471 concurrente in die Novembris quo in mense Lune eclipsis spectatur, videlicet 27 die completo, hora 5, minuto 26, et hee hore et more Italorum computantur. Laus Deo clementissimo.’
