An atlas of high energy ($E\geq2$ keV) spectra of nearby ($z\leq0.1$) Seyfert galaxies observed with ${\it BeppoSAX}$ is presented. The data have been analyzed in an homogeneous way. The final sample contains ${\it BeppoSAX}$ MECS+PDS (LECS data were not used here) pointings of 113 objects. No useful X-ray data were present for eight targets. The catalog of X-ray spectra contains data for 43 type-I Seyfert (including Seyfert 1.0, 1.2, and 1.5) and for 62 type-II objects (including Seyfert 1.8, 1.9, and 2.0). A total of 163 X-ray spectra (84 for type-I and 79 for type-II objects) were analyzed, since some sources were observed several times. 81 sources were detected at high energy (above 10 keV) by the PDS: 39 are Seyfert I and 42 are Seyfert II. The broadband X-ray spectra covering the ~2–100 keV band are 130 in total. In a forthcoming paper, the statistical analysis of these data will be presented.
