_ (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.

‘De nativitatibus hominum. Inferiora corporis reguntur a superioribus… Incipit liber Ptholomei peritissimi astrologi de nativitatibus hominum. (12v) De ariete. Natus sub Ariete a medio mensis Marcii ad medium Aprilis erit magne industrie, nec dives — Dies Veneris et Lune sunt istis meliores, dies Martis et Saturni mali. Isti fideliter vivent, tam vir quam mulier. Et hec dicta pro nunc sufficiant.’
