`_`	(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).

Cambridge, University Library, Ii 1.13 (1705)

Date:

s. XIV¹ (the date 1279, given in the colophon of the first Ptolemaic section, is in all likelihood the date of the exemplar, for this section is written in the hand that copied most of the MS, including Richard of Wallingford’s Quadripartitum (f. 64r-77r), a work composed not long before 1326).

Or.:

England. This MS seems to be the unique copy of the works of Walter Odington, monk of Evesham, contained on f. 44v-56v and 160r-181r (on these works, see North).

Prov.:

‘Possessor mei Anthonius Rous’ (f. 2r, 16^th c.); ‘Symond Ockey off Hyngham’ (f. 202r, 17^th c.); W. Crow, of Caius College, who gave the MS to the University of Cambridge in 1656 (North).

Parchment, 204 f. (various competing foliations – I use what seems to be the latest one, which differs from the one used by the Catalogue), one main hand, including for the first Ptolemaic section, with intervention of several contemporary hands in various places, including for the second Ptolemaic section. All hands are sloppy and difficult to read.

(12v-13r); algorismus ‘Quoniam cuiuslibet quantitatis notitia ex sui relatione ad aliam…’ (14r-17r); ‘Incipiunt cautele algorismi. Si tu divinare velis quot denarios socius tuus habet…’ (17r); table of contents of the MS (17r); table of contents of a different scientific MS (17v); Sacrobosco, Computus (18r-25r); verses on the 12 months (25v); ‘Regule algorismi ad sovendas questiones. Sunt autem quedam subtilia universis numerandi questionibus…’ (26r-26v); ‘Liber quantitatum mensurandum per numeros.
