If he did so, they seem at the beginning of their trust to have disregarded his intentions.

Michelangelo expressly states in one of his letters that the Cardinal of Agen wished to proceed with the tomb, but on a larger scale.

A deed dated May 6, 1513, was signed, at the end of which Michelangelo specified the details of the new design.

It differed from the former in many important respects, but most of all in the fact that now the structure was to be attached to the wall of the church.

I cannot do better than translate Michelangelo's specifications.
