PAL

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.

Ptolemy, Almagesti (tr. Gerard of Cremona)

Venice, Petrus Liechtenstein, 1515 · 51v

Et utemur in declaratione illius capitulo quo demonstrantur arcus qui sunt inter orbem equationis diei et inter orbem signorum orbis descripti super polos eorum. Hic vero non accipiemus nisi arcum qui est inter orbem signorum et inter longitudinem longiorem orbis Lune declivis in septentrione et longiorem longitudinem eius in meridie orbis magni descripti super polos eorum, qui est quinque partes. Quoniam ita declaratur nobis et Abrachi ex eis que videntur quod longitudo longior Lune in septentrione et longior longitudo eius in meridie ab orbe signorum est hec quantitas fere, et cuncta que videntur in Luna per considerationes lunares et ex eis que videntur ex stellis et que videntur per instrumentum similiter invenimus convenientiam longitudini transitus eius in latitudine, sicut declarabitur convenientia et communitas super ipsam per illud quod declarabitur post hec. Et hec est forma tabularum diversitatis Lune universalis:

Tabula diversitatis Lune universalis

Inclinationum orbis revolventis
Tabule diversitatis prime singularis
Tabula superfluitatum diversitatis secunde super primam
Tabula proportionum et minutorum eius
Partes latitudinis
Line numeri communes Line numeri communes: Paris, BnF, lat. 14738 reads Linee numeri communis. The sense of the Greek text is ‘common numbers’ (see Toomer, loc. cit., p. 238).
