The Sanctuary of Fátima published this one-volume selection of documents from 1917 to 1930 in 2013. It draws on the fifteen-tome Documentação Crítica de Fátima, which appeared between 1992 and 2013. The selection contains 138 numbered documents. They include the parish priest's and Manuel Nunes Formigão's interrogations of Lúcia, Francisco and Jacinta, witness accounts of the October 1917 solar phenomenon, press coverage and records of the canonical commission. It ends with the bishop of Leiria's 1930 pastoral letter declaring the apparitions worthy of belief.
