it is a primary source, even a translation of it is a primary source, but that would not mean that any introduction or anything else written afterwards is a primary source.

But you have to be specific of what it is a primary source of, you cannot use it as a source of anything not directly experienced by the author, you can use it to describe things believed at the time, but this does not mean that they actually happened.
