_ (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.

Responsum Tholomei ad sciendum utrum nativitas fuit masculina aut feminina

An explanation of Quadripartitum III.6, on whether a nativity is masculine or feminine. The earliest manuscript (Oxford, BL, Ashmole 345) was copied in England in the fourteenth century.

Text ‘(Oxford, BL, Ashmole 345) Responsum Tholomei ad sciendum utrum nativitas fuit masculina aut feminina. Dicit Tholomeus: Huius rei causa maxime proprie fuit a nativitate propter magnam convenientiam qui habet nativitas ― et similiter sunt descensiones opposite hiis, ut patet in figuris.’
