_ (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.

principio quod est in puncto E, et propterea etiam angulo BED dabitur arcus quoque DCE, et motus latitudinis, hoc est CI aut TL arcus, in huiusmodi stelle distantia, et propterea etiam arcus CE aut EL, et ad hec apparens distantia DC aut DL. Hoc igitur modo in omnibus signis, ne longiores simus, et in singulis quinque planetis hec computavimus, et in solo proposito climate medio, —sufficiens enim id est—, apparentes ortuum ocultationumque a Sole distantias, stellis ipsis in principio signorum locatis, facilioris usus gratia in quinque tabulis quinque stellarum conscripsimus quarum singule duodecim continent versus, et prime quidem Saturni, dico, Iovis, Martisque post primum ordinem qui signorum habet principia ex duobus ordinibus constant, quorum primi matutinorum ortuum, alteri vespertinorum occasuum distantias continent. Sequentes autem due Veneris atque Mercurii tabule quatuor ordinibus constant, quorum primi vespertinorum ortuum distantias, alteri vespertinorum occasuum continent, tercii matutinorum ortuum, rursus quarti matutinorum occasuum. Est autem tabularum compositio hec.
