Ptolemaeus Arabus et Latinus

_ (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.

‘In Ptolomei Almagestum (!). Satis in multis visae partibus prodesse… De qualitatibus animae. De corporum accidentibus haec sit doctrina compendio tradita, sed qualitates animae, quae propriae sunt mentis et ratiocinationis — aliam sumunt naturam, quam qualem habet totus quadrans ad totam orbem collatus.’

= Philipp Melanchthon, 〈Lectiones in Quadripartitum〉 (C.2.22)

. Book III, 1r-20v; IV, 22r-43r; I, 44r-71v; II, 72r-77v.

Robbins = III.14 ed. Hübner), 1r-12v; III.12 (Robbins = III.13 Hübner), incomplete, 12v-15v (blank: 14r-14v and 16r-17r); III.14 (Robbins = III.15 Hübner), incomplete (blank: most of 18v, 19r-19v and 21r-21v), 17v-20v; IV.1-4 (end of IV.2 missing on 23r, blank: 28r), 22r-28v; IV.7-10, 28v-43r (with, on 40r-40v, a digression on planetary astronomical cycles entitled ‘Annotatio m<agistri> Erasmi’, probably Erasmus Reinhold); I.1-17 (Robbins = I.1-18 Hübner), 44r-66r (blank: 55v and 66v); I.20-24 (Robbins = I.21-24 Hübner), with the beginning of I.20 missing, 67r-71v; II.1-3, with only the beginning of I.3, 72r-77v (blank: 78r-78v, followed by six unnumbered folia, also blank).
