These seems to be some discussion about that in the Florilegium file at fd-Spain-msg.

If I am not mistaken, the first link to the Cervantes Virtual text is not a link to a primary source at all, but to a modern version. (Whose?)

Who is the translator into English? F. Gomes? Faerisa Gwynarden?

Anyway: His/her problem with CALDO/SUMO in the recipe below might be  due to the translation/modernization by "unknown". 
There is a "primary" recipe version of it in the Florilegium file. There, we find cumo/sumo:

    ".... e cumo de limo~es ...".

As a consequence, the source types might both be called "secondary" (translation, modernization), the latter one secondary/secondary or, preferably, a translation of a translation.

I think, the people at Cervantes Virtual could have been somewhat more explicit about their material for their users... 
I mean, we live in the heyday of meta data. 

But maybe I am missing some important aspect here.

Pastéis de carne
Tomem
carneiro, alcatra, ou lombo de porco fresco, e uma fatia de toucinho de
fumeiro, para dar gosto. Piquem tudo muito bem. Com cravo, açafrão,
pimenta, gengibre, coentro seco, caldo de limão ou de agraço, e uma
colher de manteiga faz-se o refogado, ao qual se deitam a carne e o
toucinho picados. Cozinha-se em fogo brando. Depois de pronto deixa-se
esfriar e fazem-se os pastéis, bem recheados; pincele-os com gema de
ovo e leve-os a assar em forno quente.
Do mesmo modo se  fazem os pastéis de galinha.
Os pastéis  ficarão mais gostosos, se recheados com carne crua.
Meat Filled Pastries
