`_`	(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).

London, University College, lat. 16

Date:

s. XV² (f. 39-133 were copied in 1467 and 1468, and so were certainly f. 3-38, despite the colophon f. 21rb giving the date 1406 (see below), which would rather be the date of the exemplar (as suggested by Ker) or a mistake for 1466).

Or.:

Siena for f. 3-38, if the colophon f. 21rb is reliable: ‘… per me Filipum die penultimo Septembris 1406 in civitate Senarum’; f. 39-69 were copied ‘per me Hainricum Langenbach anno etc. 68’ (f. 69va), and f. 73-123r and 127r-133v by one Paul of Olomouc, cf. ‘… per me Paulum de Olomuncz’ (f. 100rb) and ‘per me Paulum de Iulcrimonte anno nativitatis domini M^oCCCC67’ (f. 116ra).
