`%%`	(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).

21ra–⁠21rb	‘Dixerunt Ptolomeus et Hermes quod locus Lune in hora — et hoc expertus fuit multociens.’ = Pseudo-Ptolemy, Dixerunt Ptolemeus et Hermes quod locus Lune... (B.5) . No glosses.

The second part of the text (f. 21v) appears in smaller script, as if meant as a gloss to the beginning of the Centiloquium (see below).
21vb–⁠28va	‘Incipit Centilogium. I. Dixit Ptolomeus: Iam scripsi, Iosure, libros de hoc quod operantur stelle in hoc seculo… Scientia stellarum ex te et ex illis est… I.
