A primary source is a first-hand or contemporary account of an event or topic. They are the most direct evidence of a time or event because they were created by people or things that were there at the time or event. These sources have not been modified by interpretation and offer original thought or new information. Primary sources are original materials, regardless of format.
Letters, diaries, minutes, photographs, artifacts, interviews, and sound or video recordings are examples of primary sources created as a time or event is occurring. Oral histories, ... journal articles, and memoirs or autobiographies are examples of primary sources created after the event or time in question but offering first-hand accounts.

So, the gospels are primary source of Jesus. Paul's Letters would be Secondary Sources. Junk like Two Babylons is so far removed to be a bad joke to historians like myself.
