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.

‘In nomine patris et filli et spiritu sancti [in upper margin, by the scribe]. De hiis que ad iudiciorum veritatem attiinent (!) cum in illis totus astronomie consistat… (85rb) Astrorum sciencia de te et de illis. Hec in sermone de te et de illis videtur velle Ptholomeus duplicem esse astrorum scienciam… Deinceps quoque ad significationem stellarum signorum — librorum numerus quam sensus avida manu subtrahenda.’

. Glosses by Alvaro de Oviedo. Most of f. 95r and f. 95v have been left blank after the commentary on v. 50, presumably for another commentary on that verbum or for an introduction to the much commented upon v. 51.
