First person to predict CMB

[kc0itf]

Going from Cosmology Quest 2, the history sequence states it was Guilluame in 1896. Anybody have more information such as full name, paper?

Thanks in advance!

His full name is Charles-Edouard Guillaime . He published an article called "La Température de L'Espace (The Temperature of Space)" in La Nature, vol. 24, series 2, pp.210--211, 234 (1896).

Here are a few more links with info on him and his work:
