All I’m aware of is what Jews especially say now about it all. Are there any official Jewish rulings on record regarding the matter that can be authenticated to 1st century Hebrews?
Who was the authority or authoritative body to make this ruling? Sanhedrin?
Update:Cont'd: Osiris/Horus? Seriously? That's so 20th century research for me. All those syncretism parallels where simply none exist are the result of modern restructuring and inteternet invention - hardly Christianity.
Thus, you didn't answer the question, rather, you avoided the question then seized the opportunity to post your anti-Christ links.

Not all of them did. The ones who didn't became the first Christians.
1. Most Jews lived in lands far from the Palestinian area and would have never heard of the guy.
2. Jesus was one of several 'wonder workers' of his day and had a committed following. But there was no means of mass communication then so very few in Jerusalem and Galilee would have actually heard of him there either.
3. Jesus probably never claimed to be a messiah. Those claims were made bu the Gospel writers who never met the man and who wrote after the Temple had been destroyed by Rome.
4. Israel was annihilated by Rome (70-72CE). Nothing survived from Rome's destructive war on the Jews.
5. The Sanhedrin would certainly have had something to say about a messiah in their midst but there's no evidence that they acted one way or the other.
Remember, Jews had no power. Rome was the civil authority.
There's no documentation proving that "Jesus" ever actually existed until 150+ years after the time in which he was said to have lived.
There are many other, 3rd party documents showing that there have been dozens of people to be thought of as "The Messiah of the Jews" but they, like the supposed Jesus, didn't' fit the Jew's criteria either.

Early Jews would mostly use the the bible. I believe they would use their own interpretation. If there were any documents then we would be able to prove that Jesus was a historical figure.
