These words are spelled very similarly with different meanings, so this is likely a transcription error.
'Summum' is an adjective meaning highest, greatest while 'sumptum' is a participle meaning begun, selected.
They both agree with 'desiderium' (desire, longing), so the more likely option is 'summum'.
