An atlas of high energy (E >= 2 keV) spectra of nearby (z <= 0.1) Seyfert galaxies observed with BeppoSAX is presented. The data have been analyzed in an homogeneous way. The final sample contains 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 similar to 2 - 100 keV band are 130 in total. In a forthcoming paper, the statistical analysis of these data will be presented.
