In 1465 King Matthias Corvinus obtained a papal bull and founded the Academia Istropolitana at Pressburg — today's Bratislava — the first university on the territory of Slovakia. It taught law, medicine and the arts to students from several countries, and it also shows how fast a thing disappears when one man pays for it: Matthias died in 1490, the money stopped, and the university closed. The same generation left something that did survive. In 1517 Master Paul of Levoča finished the carved high altar of St James's church, 18.62 metres of lime wood, the tallest late-Gothic altar in the world — still standing where he put it.Roku 1465 vymohol kráľ Matej Korvín od pápeža bulu a založil v Prešporku — v dnešnej Bratislave — Academiu Istropolitanu, prvú univerzitu na území Slovenska. Prednášalo sa na nej právo, medicína aj slobodné umenia a študenti prichádzali z viacerých krajín; zároveň je poučením o tom, ako rýchlo zanikne to, čo platí jediný človek: Matej roku 1490 zomrel, peniaze prestali chodiť a univerzita sa zavrela. Tá istá generácia však po sebe nechala aj čosi trvácnejšie. Roku 1517 dokončil Majster Pavol z Levoče vyrezávaný hlavný oltár v Kostole svätého Jakuba — 18,62 metra lipového dreva, najvyšší neskorogotický oltár na svete, ktorý stojí na svojom mieste dodnes.
