I thought most of the old masters' works were done by their students, the artist just signed them off as his own. Much like a musician hires others to play all the instruments for his piece. And no I'm not saying it's a bad thing, the painting wouldn't exist without the creative mind of the master.

I believe Da Vinci was a studio name and so yes a lot of works were produced from his studio by his students and people working for him under his name.
