Appendix II: The Religion of Dune

Appendix II: The Religion of Dune is the second of 4 Appendices found at the end of the first Dune novel. As the title suggests, it provides a brief history of the origin of the religion of Dune. It is unclear who the narrative voice belongs to. They seem within the Dune universe but outside the actual events, as though a historian's notes were somehow published long after the events had occurred. The piece is critical of the Bene Gesserit, and it offers insights into subjects that are otherwise hardly mentioned.
