Dear Rabbi,
Who are the authors of "Rashi" on this tractate?
I say "authorS" in the plural, because of the following:
" " - , , .
In other words, the enclosing membrane of - say a grape - is called
However further down on the same page, the enclosing membrane is called :
" " - ,
It is hardly likely that the same person used two opposing nouns for the same thing on on page!
Brachot,
Yeshayahu HaKohen Hollander
The Rishonim on Beitzah cite Rashi extensively, by name. What they quote can be found in our Rashi, so it is safe to assume that Rashi indeed authored the Rashi printed in our Gemara.
There indeed are later additions that appear in the printed Rashi but which were not part of Rashi's Perush. For instance, on Daf 26, DH veha'Tanya does not appear in some manuscripts of Rashi, nor is it cited in his name by any of the Rishonim (who themselves ask the question presented there and offer the same answer). I discussed this in my Shiur on that Sugya yesterday and proved (based on the words of the Shitah) that that gloss could not have been written by Rashi.
However, in those cases the wording and style usually give it away (such as "v'Im Tomar . . . Taritz"), and it is a stand-alone significant addition. In the case you mentioned, I did not find another Girsa in records from manuscripts.
As for your question, the Rashash noted the inconsistency, as you did, but did not provide any resolution. The Mishnah in Nazir 34b brings a debate among the Tana'im whether the grapeskin is called Zag or Chartzan, but Rashi and the Rishonim generally use Zag for the skin, and Chartzan for the pits. The Gemara also (Berachos 22a etc.) talks about planting "Chartzan". I do not know why the second Rashi uses "Chartzan" for the skin of the grape.
However, I found Rashi in Bava Metzia 92b who also interchanges the terms, writing
" : ( " )
(Elsewhere, he only refers to the Chartzanim - Rashi, Avodah Zarah 56a, Beitzah 14b.)
Best wishes,
