In Giorgio Vasari's first edition of Lives of the Artists he accused the polymath of having heretical beliefs, however in his second edition revised this statement and states that he "earnestly resolved to learn about the doctrines of the Catholic faith and the good and holy Christian religion."[28] Although he may have overstated his master's devotion to Christianity, it is true that he was a firm believer towards the end of his life, and that his apprentice influenced him greatly—Francesco was a very devoted Christian and they spent much time together.[28] In fact, the only people at Leonardo's deathbed were Francesco and members of the clergy—the vicar of the church of St. Denis at Amboise, two Franciscan friars, and two priests.[29] Because Francesco was the only person resembling family at Leonardo's deathbed, it was he who notified the master's brothers of his death.
