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.

‘Mundanorum ad hoc vel ad illud mutatio corporum celestium… Dixit Ptholomeus: Iam scripsi tibi, Iesure, libro libros (!) de hoc quod operantur stelle in hoc seculo… Verbum primum [title in the margin]. Scientia stellarum ex te et ex illis est. Astrologus autem non debet dicere rem specialiter sed universaliter… (2v) Hali: Quod dixit Ptholomeus, ex te et illis, significat quod qui res futuras prenoscere prescire (!) desiderat — (19v) ex aliqua civitatum eiusdem climatis. Prima expositio Hali: Ptholomeus dixit quod stelle cum caudis sunt 9 — ipsa signabit in regibus et divitibus apparebit. Aliud commentum in alia translatione. Iam patefecit Aristotiles in libro — (20r) acciditque tunc in Egipto quicquid dixit Ptholomeus. Alia translatio. Dixerunt Ptholomeus et Hermes quod locus Lune — et hoc fuit expertum. (20v) Conclusio Haly. Hoc est quod ego malui de expositione huius libri — et ego Deum precor ut te diligat. Et perfecta est huius libri translatio septimo die mensis Gumedi secundi anno Arabum, etc. Est finis huius opus. Amen. Explicit Centiloquium Ptholomei Phelulensis (!) finitum feria tertia.’
