The main problem was with the OCR, not the encoding. I’ve OCR’ed it with ABBYY FineReader 10 (which handles Hebrew consonants), and uploaded it to https://www.box.com/s/xgfz4ek5uteybwl2dzee Ken M.

Consistent gibberish and (due to the sort of digitisation as part of a page layout, well-ordered gibberish), but gibberish. The people who do the archive.org digitisation don't really seem to pay much attention to language. They don't scan even Latin with any attempt to treat it as Latin, and Greek too becomes nonsense. But the source image files are there if someone has good digitisation software. Let's be grateful, though, that the stuff is there at all!
